Christian Education

At First Church, we want to worship God with our hearts and minds. That means, we take Christian education seriously. We want to explore what God is doing in the world and understand the truth of the gospel by asking big questions together. Come explore with us!

Woo – a small group for youth workers and parents of youth:

Wednesday nights, 7pm-8:30pm, starting on September 13th.
Are you a parent of a young person? Do you volunteer in youth ministry or other youth-oriented activities? Do you care about youth? Have you ever met a young person? Well, this small group is for you! For about 15 weeks, we’ll be reading and discussing the book, Woo:Awakening Teenagers’ Desire to Follow in the Way of Jesus. Lead by Wes Ellis, this gathering will offer key insights into how we can best participate in what God is doing in the lives of the young people in our midst. You’ll find fellowship with other parents and youth leaders and you’ll be empowered to minister to and with young people in FUMCTR and beyond. Books will be provided ($8 suggested donation). Contact Wes Ellis if you’re interested in joining us.

 

We also offer an adult Sunday school class on Sundays at 9am in Room 4 of our education wing, near the Family Life Center. Contact the church office for more information.
